SAMMY'S STUFFED BELL PEPPERS



Sammy's Stuffed Bell Peppers image

I watched my mom make these when I was a kid. I loved them then and I love them now, and you will too. Goes great with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and a salad. I like to cook them on a medium-high heat, about 350 degrees, so that the peppers cook soft. You can adjust your temperature to lower the cook time. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bell Peppers: Select firm, brightly colored bell peppers with smooth skin. Look for peppers that are heavy for their size, as this indicates a thicker flesh.
  • Prepare the Bell Peppers Properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry before stuffing. This will help prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.
  • Use a Flavorful Mash: The mashed potatoes are the star of the show, so make sure they're packed with flavor. Use a combination of Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes for a creamy and fluffy texture.
  • Add Mix-Ins to the Mash: Feel free to get creative and add your favorite mix-ins to the mashed potatoes. Some popular options include roasted garlic, sautéed onions, shredded cheese, diced ham, or crumbled bacon.
  • Stuff the Peppers Generously: Don't be shy about stuffing the peppers. Pack the mashed potatoes in tightly, making sure to fill every nook and cranny. This will ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the stuffed bell peppers in a preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the tops are golden brown. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Mashed potato stuffed bell peppers are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include gravy, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato stuffed bell peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. With their creamy and flavorful filling, tender bell peppers, and endless topping possibilities, these stuffed peppers are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
